All Color...


Going all color can indeed be intimidating... this is "Grove Illusions", 20"x30", and other than the "Opening Ritual, Second Cup" is about the only all color rendering attempted - and as can be seen, used a limited palette of greens, yellows, browns, and the dark blue Microns... and yes, was a challenge, tho not really more than the "Reared Window" one if one counts only the colored part of that [it is 20"x30" set within the larger size]... however, I doubt it would be so easily done in b/w without a lot of careful 'light-fingered' rendering in the rear part... am saying this as there are different ideas which would work in color, and others which would best work in b/w - not everything really goes color, which might surprise some - nor does color necessarily add to a work, if it is not an essential aspect of the rendering idea...
